I'll prove to you that I'm a man,
With my blood, I'll take a stand,
I welcome you with open arms,
Have no fear, I mean no harm.

I know the weight of pain inside,
Sometimes the only thing that's keeping me alive,
I got what it takes to make it through,
I want you to know I'm down with you.

Got to drill it in your mind,
Friends like me you'll never find,
Words that cut deep like a knife,
Just like brothers: down for life.

Got to drill it in your mind,
Friends like me you'll never find,
Words that cut deep like a knife,
Just like brothers: down for life, yeah.

Down for life,
Down for life.
